He was active in the village, was a member of the committee and concentrated around him both young and old. He loved life, energetic and youthful, active and ambitious. It’s amazing how one person could have done so many things at the same time – he was always busy, whether in runs, in meetings, or in helping friends. “His friend Rami added:” Nati seems to live forty-eight hours a day. One moment he did not sit idly by. “Nathan was drafted into the IDF in early February 1967 and assigned to the Armored Corps.

Twice he passed through his unguarded destination with his tank to call for help. Several times he could extricate himself from the danger zone, but he was left to defend us, in the midst of the war, when the shells fell around us, suddenly coming down from the tank. We said to him, “Where are you going, crazy?” And Nati went resolutely, pulled a knife out of his pocket and loosened two tied cows whose husbands had fled and were doomed to starvation. With loud shouts, hurling them at the food and the water, at the life he gave them. “In an attack on Egyptian aircraft in the West Bank of the Canal on October 21, 1973.
